In another tweet, Akademiks revealed that Playboi Carti had another surprising feature on his upcoming album, which was "too fye" for the podcaster to even announce. DJ Akdemiks mentioned:

"MOST COMPLETE ALBUM" — DJ Akademiks praises Playboi Carti's I Am Music
In addition to stating that Carti played the whole I Am Music album for him ahead of its release and revealing the artists featured on the same, DJ Akademiks posted multiple tweets praising the upcoming album. In a series of tweets dated March 13, 2025, Akademiks mentioned:
"MOST COMPLETE ALBUM w songs for everybody. all hits no misses. Block me if I’m lying when u hear it tm night."
In another tweet, the podcaster mentioned that Carti's 2020 album Whole Lotta Red took time to grow among some people. However, that won't be the case with the rapper's soon-to-be-released album. Akademiks claimed that the tracks were "slapping out the gate."
Further, Akademiks stated that the I Am Music album is so good that even non-Carti fans will be vibing to it. In his final tweet concerning the album, DJ Akademiks wrote:
"CARTI SAVED 2025. FRIDAY YOU WILL SEE. PIN THIS TWEET TO REMIND URSELF TO TELL ME I WAS RIGHT."
While DJ Akademiks had been praising Playboi Carti's upcoming album on X a few days ago, the podcaster claimed that even the rapper's label was confused with regard to the album's release. During a live stream on March 5, 2025, Akademiks claimed that he reached out to Carti's label Opium and stated:
"I talked to Carti's label, they confused bruh. They don't know what the f*ck Carti's doing man."
Moreover, Akademiks praised Playboi Carti for increasing his stock "by only focusing on anticipation," adding that the rapper amassed a lot of attention without dropping new music.
I Am Music is Playboi Carti's third studio album, which was teased by the rapper in 2021. Since then, the rapper has announced the release of a new album multiple times, but it didn't come to fruition until he recently tweeted that his album was set to release on March 14, 2025.
